AuthorTopic: Hell the Devils Domain (Read 4023 times)

I was watching a show on TV this morning about different religions and their beliefs about heavenand hell. Every religion was covered, except pagan religions including Wicca. I was very surprisedthat we were left out. Prehaps because hell is not a consideration for us, I don't know.

What do you think?

This is a seiries that was made for the History Channel. There are copies of the shows on YouTube but I think some of them may be tagged with malware as I was getting a security alert.It's possible that one of the other clips available deals with witchcraft but there look like an attempt to prove the existance of Jesus more than anything.

That's REALLY disturbing!!! I've never actually put much thought into those songs. I always took the "Jesus loves the little children" as an interpretation that everyone was equal. Once again, the Goddess was speaking to me in ways I never realized.

I know I'm going to have to justify THAT.....I still hold (as an adult) that we are all equal and HATE the whole "White People rule" or "Black Power" and all of that bs of which race is the best and blah, blah, blah. As I grew up, there were signs (okay they were huge, neon, music-playing signs) that I was walking the wrong path.....I just couldn't see them. That's why I wear contacts now.....lol

So tell me not of avatars. Show me not your proof that yours is the true god. I grant you your beliefs without question and without judgment, but if you grant me what is in my heart, then such proof is irrelevant. ~Drizzt Do'Urden

I have no problem believing that Jesus was a real man who was highly regarded in his time. So highly regarded that a book was written about him by many different people. He pissed off thewrong people and they executed him, making him a martyr. I have great respect for the religionthey created.It's the churches that ruin the religion.

I agree with Marisol. The churches do ruin the religion. That's why I have trouble going to church, even though I'm a Christian. I find they get too wrapped up in the "traditions" and organizational crap, and they lose the meaning of the entire religion.

BTW, the song goes:

"red and yellow, black and whitethey are precious in His sight.Jesus loves the little children of the world."

I sang this a million times as a child. (never particularly liked it) I don't it's fair to put a nasty spin on the song, though. Not all Christians are Catholic and everyone I know detests how those priests acted and the cover-up that ensued. Hell, even the Catholics I know are disgusted by the whole mess and think anyone involved should be removed from their position and put in prison.

Every religion has it's dark side and idiot people who give it a bad name.
